Help with Chinese pressure cooker

[andrestorrubia]

Hi - I got this as a present:

But as you can see everything is in Chinese.

I've already tried one setting with wild rice and the results have been very nice, but as you can imagine I am flying blind.

Could anybody with Mandarin knowledge help me out, I am mostly interested in this:

And maybe (?) this:

Thanks in advance!

Your images are too small to see the characters properly.

If you would care to repost an image of the buttons in a larger size, I can forward the image to a friend who will be able to read it for you.

My Chinese is pretty elementary. In the group of 8 buttons, the first button in the top group on the left says "beans". The 3rd button from the left says "meat". The last button in the top group says "chicken". In the bottom row of buttons, the second from the left says "fish".

Fish?

What kind of fish you would cook in a PC?

There are any number of recipes for fish cooked in a pressure cooker.

[Blether]

Yes, the Japanese do that too - oily fish chopped up and PC'd in soy till you can eat 'em bones and all.

By the way, I think top right is hot water, and the 'meat' one is 'meat/chicken', guessing from the Japanese equivalents.

Here's some better res pics:

Top left in the Midea picture is 预约 = Presets

Right of that is Keep warm / close

口感 is a bit strange. It means "taste" No idea on this context. The three little buttons to the right may make it clearer but I can't see in your picture.

自选保压 means "manual setting"

The eight buttons at the bottom are presets for

Beans/Beef tendons - Congee (Rice porridge) - Meat/Chicken - Soup

Egg pudding - Fish - Xifan (Watery rice) - Rice

Sorry, I can't make out the other pics. Too small.

The second picture in your new uploads is just basic common sense safety instructions. Don't cook yourself!

[liuzhou]

I can see the three little buttons now. They read, from top to bottom, 'delicate', 'standard', 'strong'.

Hope that makes some kind of sense!

Thanks a lot!

Have you checked voltage?

110 ac?

220 ac?

Yes, it's 220AC (I'm in Europe) - I guess I was lucky when I tried the rice porridge with wild rice as it cooked the rice just right. I tried it again with regular rice and I got, well... rice porridge. :-)
